Summary:
Deeply divided, with ethnic French dominating the south and a large, vibrant North African community in the north, the city of Marseille typifies the tensions stemming from problematic governance, a constant influx of migrants, the widespread privatisation of services, and rapid, profit-driven, and destructive post-industrial urbanisation. Examining this complex city through a series of case studies of its built environment, this book tells of an urban reality where migration is especially prevalent. Essays, photographs, and drawings illustrate the impact of migration on space, architecture, and territory. But it also offers strategies for development that can support social and spatial integration.

Summary:
The contemporary Japanese scene is remarkably complex, extremely varied, and even enticing. Maiko Haruki, Naoki Ishikawa, Tomoko Kikuchi, Toshiya Murakoshi, Yurie Nagashima, Sohei Nishino, Koji Onaka, Yuki Onodera, Chino Otsuka, Tomoko Sawada, Lieko Shiga, Risaku Suzuki, Ryoko Suzuki, and Chikako Yamashiro belong to a generation of artists who are proceeding in open order and still lack the appropriate support, but are aware of their skills. They are also able to appeal to people’s sensitivity across the board, especially that of the critics and Western public, who seem to have been dulled by redundant aestheticism for years.

Summary:
Archives have become a nexus in the wake of the digital turn. Electronic files, search engines, video sites, and media player libraries make the concepts of “archival” and “retrieval” practically synonymous with the experience of interconnected computing. Archives today are the center of much attention but few agendas. Can archives inform the redistribution of power and resources when the concept of the public library as an institution makes knowledge and culture accessible to all members of society regardless of social or economic status? This book sets out to show that archives need our active support and continuing engagement.

Summary:
‘Black Sun’ is edited in conversation with Krist Gruijthuijsen, currently the director of KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, to accompany the exhibitions ‘David Wojnarowicz Photography & Film 1978–1992’, ‘Reza Abdoh’, and ‘TIES, TALES AND TRACES: Dedicated to Frank Wagner, Independent Curator (1958–2016)’. The issue departs from Wojnarowicz’s grief at the loss of loved ones during the 1980s AIDS crisis and anger at the US government for its wilful neglect. It assembles a selection of various gendered and sexual positions, all seeking support, love, and intimacy in linguistic, architectural, and bodily structures while under threat of collapse.

Extension du domaine de l’urbanisme porte le message de Frédéric Bonnet, Grand Prix de l’urbanisme 2014, pour offrir stratégie et qualité urbaine à tous les territoires. Penser le rural comme l’urbain, les lisières de ville, la nature comme structure de l’urbanité et comme support des déplacements doux, la contrainte des risques comme moteur d’une amélioration incrémentale du territoire. Faire en sorte que toute action architecturale serve l’urbain, que la difficulté soit le prétexte à inventer d’autres manières de penser le projet, économe, frugal parfois, mais toujours efficace pour que la durabilité devienne source d’inventivité et de plaisir.

Au cours de l’été 1980, Irene F. Whittome finalise un important cycle de travail. Tout le matériel qui se trouvait dans l’atelier est accumulé dans un coin restreint, les murs de briques et les colonnes sont repeints en blanc. L’espace est préparé à la manière dont un peintre apprête sa toile avant de l’enduire de pigments. L’atelier de la rue Saint-Alexandre devient alors le support d’une intervention spécifique qui se transformera pendant près de deux ans : d’octobre 1980 à juillet 1982. Trente ans plus tard, Room 901 fait l’objet d’une réflexion approfondie et d’une réactivation.

Summary:
Featuring more than 20 works by Japanese architect Koh Kitayama, this compact monograph covers his practice over a twelve-year period beginning in 2002. Interested in collective forms found in cities and how these are meant to support the activities of everyday life, Kitayama has explored transformations in residential districts in Tokyo in order to contemplate the renewal of its urban composition, comparing it to representative cities of the past. His goal is for architects to present a spatial model for the future with which society can identify, and he develops this through his own houses, residential complexes and integrated urban projects.
